Offseason to-do list: Packers who could be released

Unrestricted free agents? Check.

Restricted free agents? Double check.

You might think that’d just about cover it for the Green Bay Packers’ offseason to-do list - outside of the draft, of course (don’t worry, we’ll be ALL over that soon enough at OBOD).

If you think that, I’ve got three words for you: Not. Even. Close.

As we all know, numerous [...]

Offseason to-do list: Green Bay's restricted free agents, part one

We’ve covered the Green Bay Packers’ unrestricted free agents. That was fun (at least for me) and fairly easy to do.

This is where it gets tricky. Hopefully, I can make this both brief and understandable.

As of now, the league and the player’s union are extremely far apart on a new CBA. In the event they fail [...]

Offseason to-do list: Green Bay's unrestricted free agents, part two

I told you I’d bring you part two today (scroll down a bit for part one) and I’m here to deliver.

I’m many things – apparently, a piss poor predictor of playoff games is one of them (thanks for the mentioning that, however brutally, jclombardi) - but I am not a liar.

Again, enjoy.

Nose tackle Ryan Pickett, nine years – Pickett made $3.4 [...]

Mourning is over, lots of memories

It has taken me a few days to actually talk about the Packers, let alone write about them. But I am an adult and sports are well, just sports. There are far more important things to worry about in life. Will I be disappointed not to see the Packers get their shot at the Saints? [...]

Come to Jesus? More like jobs on the line

Dave from Milwaukee, a great friend and follower of OBOD sent me this link this morning from the Journal Sentinel that the offense cleared some air after watching film on Monday. Greg Bedard reported that veteran offensive players took turns addressing the unit. It sounds like Aaron Rodgers was called out on holding the ball [...]

Mid-season report card, part one

I had to make a choice.

I could do what I usually do on Tuesdays and write some sort of lighthearted, (hopefully) funny post about why we as Packers fans hate the team’s upcoming opponent, the Dallas Cowboys. But seeing as how they’ve pretty much owned us for the past, oh, I don’t know, length of [...]

A Monday trip to the question department

As Oasis once said, questions are the answers you might need.

I’ve always loved that line and it seems to hold particular importance today. There are a few fairly major question marks surrounding the Green Bay Packers as they get ready for round two with Judas and the Queens on Sunday at Lambeau Field.

(On that note, [...]

Regular season game six vs. Cleveland: Comfortable win breeds confidence in defense

In my preview for Sunday’s contest with the Cleveland Browns, I said the Green Bay Packers had to not only win, but win big in order to gain some real confidence moving forward.

No problem there, huh?

In cruising to a dominant 31-3 road win against the hapless Browns, which improves their record to 4-2 on the [...]

Monday wrap-up

Not only did the Green Bay Packers lose in embarassing fashion Sunday to the Cincinnati Bengals, they got pretty banged up while doing it.

Chad Clifton (ankle), Nick Collins (clavicle) and Aaron Rouse (neck stinger) all suffered injuries in the contest.

Donald Lee was also hurt when he took a shot from Roy Williams late in the [...]

How the Packers look, position-by-position, on offense

Now that the Packers have their 53-man roster set for the 2009 season, we wanted to take a look at the team, position-by-position, and give our thoughts on how the Pack really looks.

After all, we’re now less than a week away from the season opener.

I wanted to do this as one post, but it ended [...]
